Create a great space to store your children’s toys with this affordable DIY project. Follow this quick and easy step-by-step video to make your own crate shelves. You’ll never look at crates the same way again!
How to make crate shelves:
What do you need?
1. Four usable wooden crates
2. Sandpaper to sand the crates
3. A paintbrush
4. A stirring spatula
5. Woodoc Water-Borne™ FLOOR Clear and White
6. Woodoc Colours
7 easy steps to make crate shelves:
- Find good crates to make the shelves from. When choosing your crates, try to choose the smoothest ones with as few splits and knotholes as possible.
- Sand the crates until smooth and remove all splinters. Remove all dust by wiping the surface thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
- Mix your chosen Woodoc Colours with the Woodoc Water-Borne FLOOR Clear and White, using the stirring spatula. This will give you two shades for each colour. We chose Aquamarine and Mulberry. We now have four gorgeous colours!
- Apply the first coat of sealer and allow to dry completely. A light sanding of the surface is recommended at this stage. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. The brushes used may be cleaned immediately after use with water.
- Stir the product well and apply the second coat of sealer. Allow to dry completely.
- Stir again and apply the third coat of sealer. Allow to dry completely.
- Arrange the toys and stuffed animals in your gorgeous crate shelves!
